Sportclub Verl only announced at the start of the week that current number one Luca Unbehaun would be leaving Poststrasse. The former Dortmund player’s new destination is still unknown.

A few hours later, the East Westphalians announced the signing of Unbehaun’s successor: Philipp Schulze is on loan from Bundesliga club VfL Wolfsburg.
